I would have voted for 'A couple of minutes' option, only if the (back in old days) wasn't included. So in earning, it took me almost a month to gain one bitcoin, mostly from signature campaigns and services I provided to others. Nowadays, I think it only takes me two weeks to gain a full bitcoin, only to be kept in a stash which keeps on growing and growing.

It took me around 100 days to make my first 1 btc but after that every thing got fast. So how long did it take you to make the first btc? and I would like to know how did you get those. I got mine mostly by selling services and small faucets

Edit: Buying doesn't count, So now that's out of the way the results would be interesting to see.

I don't remember the exact time how long I earned my first BTC but I guess it was approximately 2-3 months with working & raping faucets , joining giveaways and earning referral commissions from various bitcoin services. I think it was quite fast cuz I was a beginner that time

It was fast, you are a real expert in that field, because I was doing almost same things and earned only 0.1 in 2-3 months.

But I was only working faucets then, I still don't know how to rape them.

No I'm not an expert as I said I was just a beginner that time. Maybe it was fast cuz there once a newly launched local bitcoin service that offers 0.004 BTC for every user that will sign up under your referral link and I made roughly 0.6 BTC with it And that's a good startup for me.

Depends on what time did you mine, because now it is hard to earn 1BTC within 15 minutes.I think that it is more worthy to buy miners (S7) with all these money invested in GPUs.

GPU mining was very feasible sometime from 2010 up to late 2012. Since the beginning of ASICs, GPUs have been pretty much a waste when it comes to mining bitcoins. But still after you profit from it, you can still insta mine other altcoins and dump for bitcoins or sell those cards after.

If you were active all the time for full more than 2 years than it is a bit slow.

I was mostly, though for a long time it was all just dust. That might explain some of it.

It took really to much time to earn 1BTC for more than 2 years (27 months).But by your rank now you can reach that amount much sooner joining signature campaign and even with avatar campaigns.Btw has your signature been ended? i checked in the overview of all signature campaigns and it is removed.https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1119780.msg12609894#msg12609894

It took me about 3 months. And I was blessed as I got into a high yield investment that turned out to produce more than 1 BTC investing about 0.40 ... the 0.40 was earned through faucet, selling amazon gift cards, and publishing ads on my blog.

Wow. Great contribution to bitcoin community. Hold them tight. I guess you will keep them for some big price hike. My recommendation would be holding it for years. Then you will feel prod of buying a bitcoin.Follow and the best available and suitable measurements to secure your bitcoins in cold storage and strong encryption password.

Buying and using bitcoin is a contribution to bitcoin community?I do it for myself. what is the benefit to other bitcoiners?

I joined this forum in early 2011 as user CornedBeefHash. I started mining a little before that, around the time of the Slashdot and Galker articles. My miners, mostly HD5970s, were on 24/7 for a little over two years. Those little dual Cypress puppies made me almost 2200 btc before I stopped mining. A lot of what I made was by using reaper to mine litecoin on those cards shortly after litecoin was released and trading it for btc. At one point my garage was a mining farm. Not as big as gigavps had back then but not far off either.
